Contains an evaluation of source rock quality and degree of carbonization of organic matter for sediments in the well interval 625-1130 feet, plus a brief palynology review report.

As part of preparations to drill the Koonakoo Prospect in the eastern Simpson Desert, 60 km north-west of Goyder Lagoon, PEL 49 joint venturer Hunt Energy and Mineral Company conducted a prior electrotelluric survey of that prospect and others within...

Report collates in tabular format the available MESA open file, published literature-based and other University of Adelaide organic geochemical data on the hydrocarbon prospectivity of sediments underlying the Simpson Desert region. Likely oil...

Contains results of organic petrology contractor's vitrinite reflectance and maceral analysis of 4 Permian sidewall core samples.

As part of the work of modelling the thermal history of the Ediacaran (Late Neoproterozoic) and Early Cambrian sequences of the eastern Officer Basin that are hosts to oil shows and potential source and reservoir rocks, an essential prerequisite is to...

Drill cuttings samples of the Birkhead Formation from a further 16 wells to those originally sampled were selected for a petrographic study of the organic matter they contain. Comparisons were made between the organic petrographic characteristics of...

9 drillcore calcareous siltstone samples of the Early Cambrian Moonan Formation taken from Port Julia 1A mineral exploration well were submitted for determination of that stratigraphic unit's geothermal maturity with respect to hydrocarbon generation,...

5 drillcore samples of Early Cambrian Mount McDonnell Formation shallow marine mudstone intersected by SADME stratigraphic drillhole Investigator 2 on Kangaroo Island between 139 and 505 metres depth KB were analysed geochemically to determine their...

Special seismic processing of three offshore seismic lines in south-western Gulf St Vincent was undertaken for Canyon by a Houston, Texas - based consultant, who performed a high resolution velocity analysis using the pre-stack migrated data, followed...

13 Early Cambrian drill core samples from three wells on Yorke Peninsula were analysed primarily to determine the presence or absence of dinosteranes in their preserved organic material. In addition, a beach strand tar ball from the southern coast of...

6 drill core samples and 68 drill cuttings samples from selected organic-rich intervals in 4 Eringa Trough wells were subjected to organic geochemical and petrographic analyses to enable assessment of their hydrocarbon generative potential. Following...

This is the final in a series of reports prepared for MESA, in which the hydrocarbon source potential of the Pedirka, Simpson and western Eromanga Basins is re-evaluated. Previous work focused on the Eringa Trough of the Pedirka Basin and the...

The Heatherdale Shale and the stratigraphically younger Karinya Shale are transgressive units within the Lower Cambrian of the Karinya Syncline. Black muds of the Heatherdale Shale were deposited in an outer ramp setting of the Stansbury Basin under...

Contains the results of organic geochemical analyses performed on two oil-stained siltstone and sandstone drill cuttings samples obtained from 101.4 and 107.9 metres depth in bore NB/SR 12, and on two core samples cut from 161.3 and 196.8 metres depth...

3 drill core samples from the Early Permian in Purni 1 and Witcherrie 1 were analysed for TOC, Rock Eval pyrolysis, petrographic and vitrinite reflectance data to allow a check and comparison with anomalous aromatic hydrocarbon biomarker ratios...
